¶ How To Win Against Stephanie Bice
Stephanie Bice ran for Congress in 2020 promising to lower prescription drug costs, including insulin and EpiPens — then voted against every bill that did, including the $35 insulin cap and Medicare drug price negotiation. She voted for the "One Big Beautiful Bill" that could strip Medicaid from 174,000 Oklahomans and SNAP benefits from 131,000 more — then dismissed critics as "fear-mongering" while the bill delivers over $50,000 a year in tax cuts to the top 1%.
She voted against the infrastructure law that sent $6.4 billion to Oklahoma — after earmarking $20 million in the same bill. She brands herself as bipartisan but votes with her party 97% of the time, voted to overturn the 2020 election.
¶ HEALTH CARE: PROMISED LOWER COSTS, VOTED TO GUT COVERAGE
Bice campaigned on lowering drug costs including insulin and EpiPens, then voted against the $35 insulin cap and Medicare drug price negotiation. Over 450,000 Oklahomans have diabetes.
Voted for the "One Big Beautiful Bill" that could strip 174,000 Oklahomans of Medicaid and threatens $8.7 billion in losses for Oklahoma hospitals — nine rural hospitals have already closed since 2005.
Oklahoma ACA premiums rose 20-21% on average, with some plans spiking 60-75% after subsidies expired; a 60-year-old couple earning $85,000 saw premiums jump from $7,225 to $30,784.
Message: Bice promised to lower drug costs and protect coverage, then voted against every bill that did and for a bill that guts Medicaid for 174,000 Oklahomans.
¶ AFFORDABILITY: VOTED FOR TARIFFS AND SNAP CUTS WHILE GROCERIES SOAR
Bice voted to protect Trump's 25% tariffs on Canada as grocery prices rose 29% and Oklahoma wheat farmers faced a "double squeeze" of lower export prices and higher input costs.
Voted for $186 billion in SNAP cuts putting 131,000 Oklahomans at risk of losing food benefits, including 255,000 children statewide.
The bill she voted for gives over $50,000/year in tax cuts to the top 1% while Bice framed it as preventing a "$1,200 tax hike" — never mentioning the SNAP or Medicaid cuts.
Message: Bice sided with tariffs that raise grocery prices and voted to cut food benefits for 131,000 Oklahomans — all to fund tax cuts for the richest 1%.
¶ JOBS AND THE ECONOMY: VOTED AGAINST OKLAHOMA'S ECONOMIC INTERESTS
Voted against the infrastructure law that sent $6.4 billion to Oklahoma — after putting $20 million in earmarks in the bill she voted against.
Championed DOGE federal workforce cuts while 30,000 OKC federal workers faced layoffs — FAA workers at the Mike Monroney Center said they felt "betrayed and abandoned".
The bill she voted for is projected to eliminate 1.22 million jobs nationwide via Medicaid and SNAP cuts. Only 16% of Oklahoma firms expect to add jobs in 2026 — the third-lowest reading in a decade.
Message: Bice votes against infrastructure and job creation for Oklahoma, champions federal layoffs that devastate OKC, and supports a bill projected to kill over a million jobs.
¶ ELECTION DENIAL AND JANUARY 6: TRIED TO HAVE IT BOTH WAYS
Bice voted to overturn the 2020 election results on January 6 — earning an "F" from the Republican Accountability PAC. She then voted for the bipartisan January 6 commission — the only Oklahoma delegate to do so — then dismissed the investigation as partisan.
Message: Bice tried to have it every way on January 6 — voting to overturn the election, then for the investigation, then against its findings.
¶ HIDING FROM VOTERS AND BROKEN CHARACTER PROMISES
Bice refuses in-person town halls; a constituent called her phone events "a joke" that are "carefully screened". She then scheduled a meet-and-greet in the wrong congressional district and canceled it.
Violated the STOCK Act by filing financial disclosures up to a year late.
In the Oklahoma State Senate, voted to let school districts pay teachers below state minimums and cut their health insurance — a record her 2026 opponent, Oklahoma's Teacher of the Year, is built to exploit.
Message: Bice hides from her constituents while taking votes that hurt them.
